    Trump drags Dylan Mulvaney back into it. She answers by dancing. Tells trans kids to hold every piece of themselves. "I am free in a way that they will never have the privilege to experience." Grace with an edge. That’s the only answer that sticks.

      for secret* reasons, i'm interested in other people's understanding and experience of joy.

      can you define what you mean by it? is it a regular presence in your life? an occasional visitor? a long-lost relative? a stranger?

      can you summon it? does encouraging it help it to appear, or does it only come when you have forgotten about it?

      feel free to ask and answer other questions instead.

      [edit: boosting this would be great, thx]

      *i'll get around to explaining this at some point; i have a concert today so will be less present than some times.

        According to a Scottish legend, if you want to see a fairy, you must eat a primrose, or rub primrose oil on your eyelids. Some ancient Druids thought that standing in a large swathe of primroses gave you passage to fairyland.

        Some farmers used to put primroses in their cowsheds to stop fairies stealing the milk, or braided them into the manes of horses for protection. We have never had any trouble from the fairies.

        Primroses are small, perennial woodland plants that grow no more than 10cm high and can flower from December through to May. Here on Skye they first appear in late March. Our colder, later spring means that they survive well into May. I stopped the car to take this picture of this clump of blossom by the side the road this morning. There are many more. It's hard not to believe that they have some special, extraordinary purpose beyond bringing joy.

          ‘The Red Tree’
          Léo Gausson (1860-1944)

          Léo Gausson was a French Post-Impressionist who worked closely with the artists of the Pont-Aven circle. His landscapes are remembered for their expressive use of colour. This is one of my favourites.

          Gausson was later mentioned in a letter from Theo van Gogh to his brother Vincent in connection with a proposed exchange of paintings, which was completed after Vincent's death.

          “Gausson was heavily engaged in Neo-Impressionist color theory and pointillism, later simplifying his compositions with bold, expressive fields of colour reminiscent of the Pont-Aven circle. This particular work showcases a vibrant, sinuous orange-red tree casting intense purple shadows against a brilliant yellow farmhouse facade, heavily mirroring the intense colour and structural style seen in contemporary works by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. Gausson was highly regarded in Parisian circles but not very well known today.”

              "We've Got What It Takes" is an uptempo, dance-inducing, ska like ensemble tune reminding us that together we can

                      Yesterday, @joynewacc was evacuated from Gaza.

                      This was such a group effort. We couldn’t have done it without an international group of volunteers led by @riverbirchtree organising on Signal and without those of you on the fediverse who helped fund her scholarship to Milan.

                          A weird thing about being 50 is that there are programming languages that I've used regularly for longer than some of the software developers I work with have been alive. I first wrote BASIC code in the 1980s. The first time I wrote an expression evaluator--a fairly standard programming puzzle or homework--was in 1990. I wrote it in Pascal for an undergraduate homework assignment. I first wrote perl in the early 1990s, when it was still perl 4.036 (5.38.2 now). I first wrote java in 1995-ish, when it was still java 1.0 (1.21 now). I first wrote scala, which I still use for most things today, in 2013-ish, when it was still scala 2.8 (3.4.0 now). At various times I've been "fluent" in 8086 assembly, BASIC, C, Pascal, perl, python, java, scala; and passable in LISP/Scheme, Prolog, old school Mathematica, (early days) Objective C, matlab/octave, and R. I've written a few lines of Fortran and more than a few lines of COBOL that I ran in a production system once. I could probably write a bit of Haskell if pressed but for some reason I really dislike its syntax so I've never been enthusiastic about learning it well. I've experimented with Clean, Flix, Curry, Unison, Factor, and Joy and learned bits and pieces of each of those. I'm trying to decide whether I should try learning Idris, Agda, and/or Lean. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a few languages. Bit of 6502 assembly long ago. Bit of Unix/Linux shell scripting languages (old enough to have lived and breathed tcsh before switching to bash; I use fish now mostly).

                          When I say passable: in graduate school I wrote a Prolog interpreter in java (including parsing source code or REPL input), within which I could run the classic examples like append or (very simple) symbolic differentiation/integration. As an undergraduate I wrote a Mathematica program to solve the word recognition problem for context-free formal languages. But I'd need some study time to be able to write these languages again.

                          I don't know what the hell prompted me to reminisce about programming languages. I hope it doesn't come off as a humblebrag but rather like old guy spinning yarns. I think I've been through so many because I'm never quite happy with any one of them and because I've had a varied career that started when I was pretty young.

                          I guess I'm also half hoping to find people on here who have similar interests so I'm going to riddle this post with hashtags:
